Joe’s Press Conference – “Glazed and Confused”

by

Joe Biden’s presidency is a reality TV series in a care home.  It’s called “Glazed and Confused in the West Wing.“

The Spectator–Joe Biden is the face of the United States. But Joe Biden no longer looks like Joe Biden. And he no longer sounds like Joe Biden — especially in the long and excruciating silences when he forgets what he’s saying or fumbles for his cue cards.

The United States no longer looks like itself either. The sorry theatrical display of Biden’s first press conference is an accurate image of what has happened to American democracy. A carefully limited number of carefully selected journalists asked carefully vetted questions. A carefully chosen president read carefully written answers off his cue cards, and carefully avoided taking any questions from Fox or Newsmax.

Darwin notes acerbically, that violating the First Law of Thunderstorms e.g. “Don’t stand under the tallest thing around when there’s lightning, i.e. trees,” if you expect not to have your own personal genomes poached.

Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors

According to a report at Outspoken, “a top White House communications team member” has sent an email directing that official usage at all federal agencies include Vice President Kamala D. Harris.

Better Watch Out Or Your Face Might Get Stuck That Way

Dr. Fauci warns about the side-effects of ‘Extreme Face Maskery’…

BeautyGeeks–When I was a kid, whenever we pulled goofy or grumpy faces, our Mum would tell us that we’d get stuck that way if we weren’t careful.

She wasn’t the only source of such sage advice; I’d read something similar in one of my favourite books by British author Enid Blyton. In Adventures of the Wishing-Chair (1937, Newnes), just as an obnoxious little boy pulled a grotesque face, the wind changed and he couldn’t change his face back. *gasp*

Lucky for him, intrepid Mollie and Peter and their Wishing-Chair managed to track down a bit of the original wind to blow back in his face. Lo and behold, the boy’s face was unstuck and off he went, hopefully never to make faces again.
